[...] I just don’t think it can be said more betterly than this: I hate April Foolâ€™s day. It is to humor what New Yearâ€™s Eve is to drinking – the day a lot of people who arenâ€™t very good at it feel empowered to give it a spin. With either, vomiting is a probable outcome somewhere. [...]

… and there there was the big internal-to-Intel annual AFD joke from our friendly Internal Communications Department. This year it was a whole video story about Intel merging with Apple.

MissM, I’m not going out of my way collecting them. The one’s I posted here are the ones in feeds I’m already subscribed to.

No web discussion is complete without google!
You sorta asked for the following, when you said you enjoyed collecting them, or so I interpreted it….
Google Romance
Google Technology 2002 April fool’s joke
Google Gulp 2004(?)
Google Mentalplex 2000 version
It did seem to have reached a new scale across the internet this year, not sure exactly if its my awareness of it, or if there are more jokesters on the internet.
